Yet, if Texas' obsession with the ketchup is any indication (the condiment recently began selling in "Texas-sized" 40-ounce bottles), then it's potential political real estate might be too valuable to cede over to O'Rourke.

Which is why Ted Cruz fired back in good fun:

"Unlike the spicy ketchup, when Texans unwrap the O'Rourke packaging, they are definitely not going to like what they see underneath," a Cruz campaign spokesperson told the Star-Telegram. "He's like a Triple Meat Whataburger liberal who is out of touch with Texas values."

Outside of burger talk, the race between the two Senate candidates has been heating up.
